Nanlin Bamboo Demon

Due to the closure of Baigu City, many people who returned to the outskirts of the city from other places last night had to sleep in the outskirts of the city today.

Since daybreak, the gates of the city were closed, and many people came one after another outside the gates. Since they could not enter the city, they could only walk around the outskirts of the city, digging the soil and so on.It didn't matter this planing, it revealed a face buried in the soil.

The man was terrified, trembling for a long time and unable to utter any sound, he just opened his mouth wide, as if his soul had been frozen.

A woman passed by this man, looked at this man sitting on the ground with a dull expression, and thought something had happened to him, "Young man, what's wrong with you?" The woman came over and squatted beside the man and asked.

He followed where the lad was looking—"Ah! Dead... dead man! Oh... dead man... dead man dead... "The woman repeated these three words tremblingly as she crawled into the distance.

When the nearby people heard the voice, they all came here with their boldness and curiosity backed by Qing Tian Bai Ri.The young man finally came to his senses, and found that his pants were half wet. Only when more and more people appeared beside him did he hold his breath normally, and barely propped himself away from the corpse.

"Oh my god, it's really dead!"

"Hurry up and report to the officials! Take this opportunity to open the city gate, and we can go home!"

"That's right! I will definitely open the city gate to move the corpse in a while, and finally I don't need to fool around anymore."

"How do you say this man died? How about we dig him out!"

A few men seemed to be filled with the blood of heroes, and started to dig up the corpses as if they felt that they were going to solve a strange case. This digging didn't matter...

"This... this has a head!" The person who was digging up the corpse's feet called out.

"No...it won't be...."

"My God! Could it be a serial murder case! It's so exciting!" The voice sounded a little excited.

"Let's dig around and see if there are any."

"Here is!"

"No way...I dug one too..."

The surrounding people changed from being lively and watching to gradually becoming quiet. There was no chatter, and they could only stare quietly at the dug up corpse...

Two...Three...Four...Finally, a total of seven were dug up...

They no longer eagerly expect to go home and the city gate will open, but feel that the whole body is spooky, and there are so many people under the blue sky and daylight that they cannot give them a sense of security.

"I'm going to report to the police!" The woman who had excitedly said "exciting" before said this, and ran away quickly after speaking.

But in the blink of an eye, he turned back again, "Who...who can go with me..."

"I'm with you!" The man who proposed to dig up the corpse at the beginning stood up and acted as a warrior.

Everyone who stayed in place did not dare to move around, as if gathering here is the safest.

"Why... why are they all men, and... have no clothes on..." A woman's voice emerged from the crowd.

"Could it be... Could it be that he was killed by someone with a habit of Longyang?"

"How did they die, one by one as if they were asleep... no painful expressions, no bloody wounds..."

"It can't be buried alive!"

The words of a young guy brought out the goosebumps that everyone had not long ago.

"Could...the murderer...will be...near here..." As soon as the words fell, everyone became wary of the people around them.

"Everyone is together now. In broad daylight, even the murderer would not dare to act rashly. As long as we are all together, nothing will happen... Now, we have to wait for those officials to come over... ..." said a man who looked like a scholar, with a bookcase on his back, he looked like he had just returned from the spring exam in the capital.

"I...I was wondering...could this not be all the corpses..."

"do not talk!"

Everyone was terrified, and a casual sentence could easily break down the psychological defense line.

After that, no one really spoke, except for occasional low sobs.

Soon, the servants arrived...

After Wei Lin and his party heard the news, they turned around and went up to the top floor, exited the window, and flew out of the city.

After a stick of incense, he reached the outskirts of the city.Many people gathered at the gate of the city. Since they were not allowed to leave the city, they could only poke their heads inside the gate, although they couldn't see anything from their position.

Wei Lin and his party pretended to be coming back from outside the city, passed by the place where the corpses were found, and gathered around the Yacha, looking at the corpses.

The state of death was exactly the same as that of the imperial envoy and the aunt... What's worse, she was still naked... Does this monster have any more quirks?

At the same time as the corpse was being inspected, some government agents also dispersed to search in other places to see if there were any missing corpses...

"My lord! Their identities have been found! They are the escorts of the Fumen Escort Bureau. The people in the Escort Bureau said that they left the city a few days ago..."

"Where is the dart sent?"

"Stubborn City, it is said that it is a dart sent to the new city lord."

"Understood, I will send someone to investigate in the stubborn city. First, carry these corpses back, and search the vicinity, and the city will still be closed today!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Take all the people who found the corpses here, and leave a statement." After the imperial envoy finished speaking, he turned around and saw the familiar people standing in the crowd, and raised his eyebrows and smiled at them.

"Sir, what does he mean?"

"I don't know...but I think there is something wrong..."

"What's wrong?" Gu Nianran asked.

"I can't tell, but I just feel that there is something wrong around that imperial envoy..."

"Boss, a lot of discarded clothes were found over there."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that the "boss" was no longer the guy who was showing off his might not long ago.

"They change heads pretty quickly." Wei Fu said with a smile in their direction.

I saw the "boss" over there realized the gaze here, smiled and nodded, indicating friendship.

"Hey, this young man is much more pleasing to the eye!" Wei Fu sighed again.

"That imperial envoy..." Nian Ran stared at the imperial envoy's back and said.

"What happened to him?" Wei Lin asked.

"He looks... weak..."

"How did you meet?"

Gu Nianran shook her head, "I can't tell you the specifics, it's a feeling... that he is so angry that he is going to die soon..."

"Mr. Nianran, you didn't see how he was messing with me in the prison. Let me see, he is not only not as angry as a silk, but also a master of martial arts." Wei Fu nodded confidently after finishing speaking.

Gu Nianran smiled and said, "I just have an inaccurate feeling, which is not enough for discussion."

The imperial envoy explained something to the yamen envoys, turned around and left.

When he left, Gu Nianran carefully noticed that among the group of people who found the corpse, there was a person who had been staring at the imperial envoy with a puzzled look.The man found that Gu Nianran was looking at him, so he quickly closed his eyes and looked in other directions.

Soon, the group of people and the Yacha returned to the city.

Wei Lin and the others also flew back to Izumozhai unobtrusively from further away from the suburbs.

The summer weather in the south is changeable, and in a blink of an eye there is thunder from the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans pour down in an instant, hitting everyone who is still on the street accurately.In the blink of an eye, the sky became as dark as night.Pedestrians on the street ran in the rain, and soon, most of the pedestrians on the street disappeared, replaced by oil-paper umbrellas propped up.

Gu Nianran sat by the window, took a sip of tea, looked at the colorful umbrella tops moving slowly on the street downstairs, and smiled to herself.

Wei Lin, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, looked at him quietly, and suddenly recalled that when he first met him, he also talked to himself with a smile like this.Unexpectedly, after just getting along with each other for a few days, he insisted on abducting him to walk with him, and pretending to be his lover.

Wei Lin suddenly felt that he was a bit shameless.But he was very happy in his heart, thinking that he had abducted a treasure.Thinking about it, he also felt that the fate between himself and Gu Nianran was due to the dead Zhao Yanjing. If he hadn't led him to Nanlin, according to the temperament of the young man sitting by the window, he might really stay there for the rest of his life. In the South Forest.If that was the case, the two would never know each other again.

Thinking of this, Wei Lin became a little worried, he couldn't imagine how to spend the days without seeing Gu Nianran.

In the past nearly 30 years of his life, he has never wanted anything.Whether it is the constantly improving spells or the position of the head of the family, he is not what he wants. These are the pressures on his eldest son of the Wei family, so he has to make himself stronger.But the person in front of him is different. For the first time, he has a desire called "want". He wants to own the person in front of him, let him be his own, and become his own person.A frown, a smile, a frown, a worry, even anger and hatred, I hope he only has it for himself.

This kind of thought became more and more intense, and unconsciously glanced sideways at Gu Yi who was sitting on the Juechen brand blanket making fun of him, and even felt a bit of disgust, hoping that he could go out into the rivers and lakes again and learn art from a teacher.Then he took a look at Wei Fu who was sitting beside Hui Ao with his eyes closed and resting his mind. He actually hoped that this guy would disappear for two or three days, leaving only himself and Nian Ran. In this case...

Wei Lin shook his head violently, trying to get away from the thoughts of demonic obstacles, and laughed at himself.I unconsciously discovered my own dark side, and felt a little novel and a little ridiculous.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed himself "It's useless!" Then he stood up and walked to Gu Nianran.

"I like rain very much." Gu Nianran seemed to know that it was him, and said without moving his eyes, "When I am alone, whenever it rains, I will feel that the surroundings become very lively. I sit at the door and listen to the rain. You can listen to it for a day, that kind of voice is soft and calm. No matter how you listen to it, you will never get tired of it." After speaking, he looked up at Wei Lin and smiled even brighter.

want to hug!Wei Lin came up with such a thought rampantly in his mind, even if it is not a "gentle and calm" rain today, he still feels that "Nian Ran is right!"

But knowing that there are four obstacles on the other side, so Wei Lin coughed lightly to conceal his mood, settled down, returned Nianran with a brighter smile, took his hand and stroked it gently, "In the future , I will listen with you."

Gu Nianran smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line, and said softly, "Okay."

Wei Lin touched Gu Nianran's eternal life knot and touched it, "At that time, why didn't you tell me that using it to save people would eat back your body."

Gu Nianran's smile hasn't been completely swallowed, "Huh?" He didn't realize what he was asking at first, and shook his head, "Oh...then...you are in a hurry It looks like you are going to save people..." After saying this, he was afraid that Wei Lin would blame himself, so he changed his tone and said, "I'll get a good night's rest and I'll be fine! You see , am I fine now?" After speaking, the voice slowly lowered, "And... that lady's life... I couldn't save her... "

"You... Will your health get worse and worse because you save more people..."

Gu Nianran looked at the knot of eternal life gently caressed by Wei Lin, "I don't know either... I don't know anything about its origin, my father only knows that it is a relic left by my mother... ..”

Wei Lin suddenly thought of what Zhao Yanjing said before and he forgot to tell Gu Nianran, and slapped himself on the head, "Look at my brain! This is not Ranniang's, who was picked up by Zhao Yanjing, and he said that Ranniang's eternal life knot is It was cut off by Miss Bai, and he suspected that it was Ranniang who hurt Miss Bai, saying he wanted revenge, but he found that Ranniang had already..."

"Is it still related to my mother? But... but Mr. Zhao never told me, then... are you sure it's my mother's?"

"Well... when your brother held it, it reacted..."

"Then...really, did mother hurt Miss Bai..."

Wei Lin shook his head and said, "I heard about Ranniang from my father. I heard from him that Ranniang is a bamboo demon who has practiced for a hundred years. She is born with the power to heal the earth. She is the kindest and bravest woman in the world. Woman. I...Although I have never met her in person, I know Uncle Gu. He is the tallest and mightiest hero I have ever seen. When I saw him when I was a child, I felt that as long as he was in this world, the world would be Peace and joy, he can quell any disputes and wars. He and Ran Niang are enviable heroes. It's a pity..." After finishing speaking, Wei Lin paused, and looked deeply into Gu Nianran's eyes, "So I don't believe that she really hurt Miss Bai... Your brother said that he would investigate this matter. I... think that Uncle Gu should also investigate what happened back then after he has been away for so many years The truth is now...Maybe Ranniang's death was not because of you, do you understand?"

Gu Nianran's body froze for a moment, and said sadly, "Really... Even if it's not all because of me, it has nothing to do with me. Her body will be weak after being pregnant with me..."

Wei Lin couldn't see his expression, as if he would fall into a boundless abyss at any moment, which made Wei Lin panic.

Wei Lin stretched out his hands to hold his face, "Nian Ran, have you forgotten what that aunt told you? In this world, there is no parent who does not want their children to be happy. The fact that Ran Niang left is irreversible. Even if you think you are a sinner, you have to live the way you should. At least... At least, if you meet Uncle Gu in the future, you can clearly ask him why Ran Niang died! At that time, You...if you still think you are guilty, I..."

Gu Nianran blinked, guessing that he would say something like leaving her next, just like... just like everyone else.

"I'll wake you up! Then tie you by my side forever!"

Gu Nianran opened her mouth, surprised by this answer.

Do you want to keep me by your side forever?As if he didn't believe it, he smiled on the skin and said, "That's fine."

Wei Lin's voice raised unconsciously before, causing the four living creatures over there to stop moving and stare at this side.

Especially Gu Yi, his eyes are like wild wolves who have been hungry for dozens of days in the deep mountains at night, with a dangerous light shooting out of their eyes, "Your hand...where are you touching..."

Wei Lin was dissatisfied that this kid only knew to stare at his own hand, but didn't pay attention to his second brother's worries.Let go of the hand that was touching Gu Nianran's face, walked straight to Gu Yi, and patted Gu Yi's head with his hand, "Xiao Yi, when are you going to learn art from a teacher again?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and sat down, sat firmly in the previous seat, picked up the teacup, lifted it up and smelled it lightly, "It's cold, but I just like it!" Looking at Gu Nianran, Gu Nianran felt that he was getting more and more confused about this man who was sometimes serious and sometimes mischievous.

Gu Yi gave Wei Lin a white look, unwilling to talk to him anymore, put Hui Ao lying on his lap on the Juechen blanket, got up and patted the dog's fur, and walked over to the second brother who continued to watch the rain to cling to him .

Wei Fu was surprised to find that this time, Gu Yi didn't even slap Wei Lin's claws off, it seems that he has made progress!

After speaking, he fell on the Juechen brand blanket, turned sideways, supported his head with one hand, and touched Hui Ao who was crawling beside him with the other, "Young master, tell me, the ones found outside the city today are the same ones as before. Did the monster do it?"

"The difference between today's corpses and the previous two is that the clothes were stripped off. This is the reason why I can't figure it out. If you just want to absorb the soul and send it to the body, why do you need to strip off the clothes?"

"Will there be cleanliness, don't like to have other people's clothes and so on."

"When he sent his body to the aunt, he didn't change his clothes. And..."

"and also?"

"There is also the imperial envoy, I always feel that there is something strange around him, that is not right, but now, I really can't remember... Where is it..."

At this time, the thunder that had been boring for a long time in the sky suddenly rang.

Wei Fu raised his eyes and looked out of the window, "I don't know who provoked Granny Lei today. Seeing this posture, if I don't fight for a day and a night, I'm afraid I won't give up."

"Grandma Lei?" When Gu Yi heard these three words, he tore them off his second brother excitedly, and almost reached Wei Fu's side in one step, "I heard that he has a very cowardly son who doesn't practice spells every day." , just sitting and eating waiting to die, possessing natural power, but wanting to grow old forever. Really?"

"Hey, let me tell you, little brother, you are very well-informed about this news, you even know this kind of gossip."

"Is that true? Hey, I thought that each of you was arrogant, with boundless magic power, and ruled the world. I didn't expect that there was such a coward. It is said that the person has reached the point where there is no cure. Made Granny Lei faint so many times!"

"...No, it's not what your master said."

"Yes yes yes!"

"What kind of master are you looking for?"

Wei Lin next to him smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not a fortune teller!"

"Pfft!" Wei Fu couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "Did he tell you that you have exquisite bones, you are a pillar of talent at first glance, and you will be a hero who saves the world in the future, and then let you practice with him?" , it turned out that you were asked to ask for rations?" Gu Yi was very annoyed by Wei Fu's cheerful voice, and he stared at him for a long time without speaking.

Seeing him like this, Wei Fu knew he was right, so he couldn't help laughing again.

"Why didn't you get beaten to death in prison!"

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he rushed out of the door angrily.

……

"Are you angry? What a child's temper." Wei Fu slapped his buttocks and stood up while complaining, "I'll go and have a look, I'll be back soon." Lin gave a smirk, "Do I need to take these two little things away? Huh? Young Master?"

Wei Lin glanced low-key at Gu Nianran, who was a little worried, gave a "tsk", and waved to Weifu, "Remember to bring an umbrella, go and come back quickly."

Wei Fu suddenly stood up straight, "Obey!"

After finishing speaking, he closed the door and walked downstairs quickly.
